PREFACE 

Phrasing is an important factor of shorthand speed and 
legibility. Many phrases can be written more quickly than 
they are spoken, thereby enabling the writer to do easily what 
would require unusual exertion to accomplish without phrasing. 

In the " Manual of Munson Shorthand" and the "Van 
Sant Manual of Shorthand" phrasing is taught in connection 
with word-building principles, the object being to get into the 
mind of the student at the beginning of his study the idea that 
phrasing is fundamental and not supplemental. 

This book is not a text-book of elementary principles. 
It presumes that the writer is familiar with Munson Short- 
hand, with the word-signs, words distinguished, and principles 
of phrasing. 

There is always danger in presenting a list or phrases that 
the writers will try to memorize the phrases rather than master 
the rules of phrasing. A thorough mastery of the rules laid 
down in the text-books, or in the preliminary pages of this book, 
should enable the student of Munson Shorthand to form a 
large proportion of the phrases contained in the list. 

Phrases properly formed add greatly to legibility as well 
as to speed. Many inexperienced writers of shorthand avoid 
phrasing, supposing that the words written separately will be 
more easily read. When phrases are correctly formed and fol- 
low the natural phrases of the language they are much more 
legible than words written separately. The mind can learn to 
grasp a good phrase as quickly as it would any single word of 
the phrase, thereby saving the separate action of the mind on 
each word.

4 PREFACE 

There are three methods of phrasing used in phonography : 

1. Joining one word after another without changing 

the outlines of any of them. 

2. Allowing the modifications, such as circles, loops, 

hooks, half-lengths, double-lengths, etc., to 
be used to add words. 

3. Changing word outlines to form special phrases, 

utilizing the consonants of the words but not 
retaining the original form. 

In simply joining words in phrases all that is saved is the 
time of lifting the pen. Such phrases are easily formed, very 
legible, and the saving of time in the aggregate is considerable. 

Phrases which represent words by modifications form the 
most valuable group. The words which are thus added are the 
common words of the language and the phrases formed are of 
frequent occurrence. Practically all the word-building prin- 
ciples are adapted to phrasing. To illustrate: The word will 
is represented by a word-sign, L in the third position. If the 
word-sign only were used in phrases the number which could be 
formed would be limited, and the time saved would be only the 
saving of lifting the pen. But the word will may be added to 
either straight or curved stems by the 1-hook. This hook is put 
on with a continuous motion, thus adding a word almost without 
expense of time or movement. In this way all the hooks on 
both straight and curved stems are made to stand for words or 
groups of words of frequent occurrence, thereby forming 
phrases of great practical value, and often representing several 
words by a single stem. 

Arbitrary phrases in which word outlines are changed, 
aside from the use of modifications as outlined above, are com- 
paratively few in the Munson System. A large percentage of 
the phrasing is done by the application of general principles, 
leaving little necessity for memorizing individual phrases. 



PREFACE 5 

Familiarity with word forms and a knowledge of the rules 
of phrasing will enable the writer to form new phrases instantly. 

Shorthand phrasing should follow the natural grouping of 
the words of the language. Unless this principle is followed the 
result will be illegible phrases. Certain words group themselves 
naturally, such as the pronouns with the auxiliary verbs, it 
will be, you have been, etc., or the preposition with the pro- 
noun or article, in this, with you, upon the, etc. Other 
words are grouped together often enough to become recognized 
as natural phrases, such as matter of fact, under the circum- 
stances, etc. 

Avoid using unusual words in phrases. Correct shorthand 
phrasing utilizes common words and comparatively few of 
them. These are worked over and over in endless combinations. 
Unusual words need the distinction of position and of a separate 
outline to make them legible. It must be borne in mind, how- 
ever, that words which are very common in one class of work 
would be unfamiliar to shorthand writers in other lines of work. 
Thus many phrases which are common in law reporting would 
not be found anywhere else. It occasionally happens that a 
word is unfamiliar the first time it is heard, and the outline can 
be written detached until it has become familiar, and later the 
word can be used with safety in a phrase. 

Avoid phrasing over a grammatical or rhetorical pause. 
For example, in the sentence, "The letter came in this morning's 
mail," the phrase in this morning's is a natural phrase, while 
in the sentence, "The goods came in this morning," the word 
in is not naturally connected with the following words and 
should not be phrased. 

Avoid phrasing proper names unless they have become very 
familiar in outline. Occasionally the name of a city and state 
may be joined, even though both are proper names, and 



6 PREFACE 

separated by a grammatical pause, for the reason that they 
naturally occur together and can be easily read. 

Avoid phrases which are too high, too low, or too long. 
The length to which phrasing can be advantageously carried 
depends largely upon the individuality of the writer. One who 
writes small notes will be able to phrase much more freely 
than one who writes a large hand. A phrase gives little ad- 
vantage when the hand has to cover a long space, or when it is 
carried much above or below the line of writing. Many of the 
phrases included in the list are too long for the average writer, 
but can be used to advantage by one who writes small notes, 
and has good pen-control. Many phrases which seem too 
long at first can be easily and rapidly written after a little 
practice. 

In studying the list of phrases the writer should first 
select those which he can use in his daily work, and should 
practice them until they can be written rapidly and with per- 
fect ease. If the writer makes large notes and the phrases are 
found too long they can generally be divided. The greater 
includes the less. 

A phrase should not be abandoned simply because the out- 
line can not be written easily the first time. If the words 
occur together frequently and a phrase for them is desired, the 
outline should be practiced until it can be made easily. Many 
outlines which at first seem difficult can be mastered by prac- 
tice and may become very useful. 

The quickness with which an outline can be written can 
not be determined by the space it occupies on the paper. A 
short form which requires special care in making is a hindrance 
to speed. It impedes both mind- and hand-action, and dis- 
turbs the rhythmical movement which is so important a factor 
in rapid writing. A longer, flowing outline on which the mind 
and hand work without hesitation or extra care can be written 



PREFACE 7 

more quickly and legibly than one which burdens the memory 
and impedes the action of the hand. The only true measure of 
speed in shorthand is the quickness with which a form can be 
written. A form which may look very brief on paper may 
hinder speed because of the care required to write it. 

In the rules of phrasing preceding the list cautions are 
given in regard to the necessity of distinguishing certain words 
when used in phrases. It is impossible to make complete 
reference to each individual case. Some phrases are included in 
the list of words and phrases distinguished found in the text- 
books of Munson Shorthand. 

Frequently recurring groups of words may sometimes be 
phrased in one class of matter which it would not be advisable 
to include in a general list. In reporting a particular address 
or case in court groups of words will be found to recur fre- 
quently. The reporter may begin by writing them separately, 
and then may find that he can form an impromptu phrase which 
will answer a temporary purpose. 

Court reporting is one of the most highly specialized uses 
for shorthand. All over the country, every week day of the 
year, the proceedings of courts are taken in shorthand. The 
'Vocabulary used differs from that used in any other class ofre- 
porting. The questions of the attorney and the answers of the 
witness often overlap one another, and the objections of oppos- 
ing counsel are interpolated without waiting for a pause. The 
reporter must make a correct record of the proceedings, and 
will have need for every rapid and readable phrase which can 
be devised for his special line of work. This volume contains 
a large number of phrases especially adapted to court report- 
ing. They will suggest to the reporter many more which can be 
instantly formed.

INTRODUCTION 

Munson Shorthand was first given to the public in 1866, 
the first book being "The Complete Phonographer." It is 
founded on the Isaac Pitman System, using the same table of 
consonants, with one exception, and the revised vowel scale. 

Mr. Munson 's fame as an author rests upon three things : 

First: He abandoned the corresponding style of phono- 
graphy and taught from the beginning the forms which must be 
used in the most rapid writing. 

Second: He eliminated all fundamental exceptions, mak- 
ing invariable rules for the application of all modifications, 
such as circles, loops, hooks, halving, and doubling. 

Third: He applied the word-building principles to phras- 
ing in such a way that the student can form thousands of phrases 
on general principles instead of memorizing a vast number of 
arbitrary phrases . 

James E. Munson made the greatest improvement in Pit- 
manic Shorthand which has been made since its first publication 
in 1837. Many have contributed improvements which have 
made the Pitmanic Systems the greatest reporting systems ever 
devised. 

The original work of Sir Isaac Pitman was based upon a 
wrong idea. He conceived the idea that shorthand could be 
made to take the place of longhand in business and social 
correspondence. He would have had every child taught short- 
hand in the schools, and thus in a measure have done away with 
longhand. This was the excuse for the cumbersome "corres- 
ponding style" which continued to be taught by many text- 
books to the very beginning of the present century. 



INTRODUCTION 9 

The real value of shorthand is for the rapid writing re- 
quired in good amanuensis work, and for verbatim reporting, 
for which the corresponding style is inadequate and practically 

useless. 

The plan of going directly to the reporting style and elim- 
inating the speed-obstructing features of a corresponding style 
has appealed so strongly to all sensible authors that the best 
modern texts in all systems of Phonography have followed the 
lead of James E. Munson in going directly to the reporting 
style. It may justly be said that he revolutionized the teaching 
of Phonography. 

Another great advance which Mr. Munson made in Pit- 
manic Shorthand was in his method of adding hooks. In the 
original Pitman System, and in most of its modifications, the 
method of adding hooks is cumbersome, full of exceptions, and 
difficult to learn. Mr. Munson took the Pitman consonants as 
a basis. To these he added hooks which allowed every con- 
sonant stem to retain its original form under all circumstances. 
Instead of a multitude of exceptions he made uniform rules for 
adding hooks on all stems. Instead of reversing part of the 
curved consonant stems, as the Pitman Systems do, the con- 
sonant remains a constant element, and the hook is added 
in the same way to every curved stem. Thus upon one straight 
stem and one curved stem the method of adding circles, loops, 
and hooks to all stems can be illustrated. 

It is a common thing for advocates of shorthand systems 
to point with pride to the brevity of certain outlines and to 
argue from that the speed of their systems. But brevity of 
form is not the only thing necessary to make a shorthand sys- 
tem efficient. A system which places too heavy a tax on the 
memory can not give good results in the hands of an average 
writer. 



10 INTRODUCTION 

Mr. Munson instead of cumbering the mind with long lists ■ 
of arbitrary phrases laid down general principles which lib- 
erated the mind from the burden of exceptions. His theory was, 
"Swift writing is quite as much a mental as a manual process." 

The simplicity of its fundamental principles, its freedom 
from exceptions, and its adaptation to the requirements not 
only of the amanuensis but also to the needs of court and gen- 
eral verbatim reporters justly entitles the Munson System to a 
foremost place among stenographic systems. It gets its speed 
not so much from brevity of forms and arbitrary expedients as 
from its quick and easy mental movements and its flowing 
forms. A quick mind-movement must precede a quick hand- 
movement. No other system of shorthand has been devised 
in which the hand more quickly obeys the mandates of the 
brain.

PHRASE BOOK 

POSITION OF PHRASES 

If the first word of a phrase contains a stem, the first word 
should be written in its own position. Examples: by reason, 
in this way, no one else, on all occasions. A first-position 
horizontal stem beginning a phrase is however, raised or 
lowered half the length of the stem T to allow the second word 
of the phrase to retain its position. Examples: act of parlia- 
ment, another instance, call upon you, can be done, on the 
back, on this, on top. 

When a phrase consists entirely of breves, the first breve 
retains its position. Examples: he is, is a, of whom, what 
would a, when has he, with what, without a. 

The breve word-signs have, how, his, is, who, without, 
when, with, what, and would, when joined initially to a stem, 
retain position. Examples: have our, his own, how soon after 
that, is not, what it, when they were, who was, with this, 
without this, would take. 

The breve word-signs a, an, and, as, has, he, 7, of, we, 
you, and your, when joined initially to a stem, lose position, 
the first stem of the phrase being placed in position. Examples : 
a man, an immediate, and may, as many, has no, he could, I 
know a, of that, we need, you might, your bill. 

When two breves are joined initially to a stem the first 
breve retains position. Examples: and I may not, as I knew, 
he would be there, I would say, when he came, would we not. 
Two breves in the first position preceding an upright stem, 
however, are lowered slightly to let a third position stem take 
its own position. Examples : and we think, what we did. 

11 



12 PHRASE BOOK 

FOURTH POSITION 

A word represented by a full-length upright stem, or whose 
first upright stem is full length, is put in the fourth position 
(below the line of writing) to indicate that it is preceded by 
to or too. Examples : to become, to furnish you, to invest, too 
clear, too plain. 

Fourth position is not used with outlines which would be 
below the line if written in the third position, as follows: 

1. With words consisting wholly of horizontal stems. 
Before a word consisting of horizontal stems to or too is repres- 
sented by the stem T, and the following stem is joined if a 
good joining can be made. Examples: to go, to make, to 
some extent, too soon. If the word following to begins with 
the stem N it is not joined, but the words are written separ- 
ately. Thus, to enclose, to know, to enter, etc., are not phrased. 

2. With half-lengths. Before a half-length, to or too is 
represented by the stem T, and the following stem is joined if 
the joining is good. Examples: to get, to let you know, to 
put, to write you, too late. When the angle is not good the 
words are written separately. Thus, to note, to indicate, to 
fight, etc., are not phrased. 

3. With outlines whose first upright is half-length. Exam- 
ples: too little, to extend. There are only a few phrases of 
this kind which are joined. In the great majority of cases the 
words are written separately. 

4. With breves. Examples: to a, to him, to his, to whom. 



Note: Fourth Position should not be used with outlines which 
depend upon position to distinguish them from other outlines, unless th 
context makes the word readable. Proper names, unless well known 
the writer, can not safely be put in the fourth position. 






RULES OF PHRASING 13 



RULES OF PHRASING 



A. One of the common errors of stenographers, especially 
of beginners, is the confusion of the articles a, an, and the. 
The Munson system provides for a perfect distinction between 
the definite and the indefinite articles. 

A and an are frequently represented by the same sign in 
phrases, the following word determining which of the two 
words is to be used in the transcription. 

A is represented by the breve Poid. It is written down- 
ward when used initially, and either upward or downward 
when used finally, the one being chosen which makes the better 
joining. It is not joined initially to P, B, T, D, K, G, S, Z, 
SH, ZH, N, NG, W, and downward R. Careful writers may 
join a before F or V, although it is not safe for one whose notes 
are poor in form. Examples: a few more, in a few days. 

Phrases beginning with a are placed in the position of the 
first stem word. Examples: a chance, a little, a matter of 
fact, a number of, a thousand dollars. 

A is written upward after P, B, T, D, K, G, TH, DH, 
M, H, Y, and the upward or downward L= Examples : beyond 
a, by a, gave a, made a, will a. After all other stems a is 
written downward. Examples: change a, in a, saw a, show 
a. Careful writers may join a after F, V, W, and the down- 
ward R, although it is not safe for one whose notes are poor 
in form. Examples: for a, or a, why a. 

After words ending with circles, loops, or hooks a is written 
downward. Examples: against a, because a, upon a. 

A is omitted from the outlines of a few phrases. Examples: 
once in a while, to a certain extent, year and a half. 

After is added to straight stems by the f-hook and doub- 
ling. Examples : day after day, Monday afternoon, Saturday 
after next. 



14 PHRASE BOOK 

In one phrase, year after year, a large hook and doubling 
is used on a curved stem for after. 

When the hook and doubling cannot be used, after is 
written with the stem F made double-length. Examples: 
how long after that, soon after he left. 

All is added to both straight and curved stems by the 
1-hook. Examples: at all, by all means, for all that, if all 
others. 

When the 1-hook cannot be used the stem L is used. 
Examples : after all, that is all. 

An is represented in phrases by the breve Poid. It is 
subject to the rules laid down for a on previous page. Examples: 
an immediate, has an, with an. 

When it is desired to distinguish between a and an, or 
when a better joining can be secured, the n-hook is used for 
an. Examples: at an end, half an hour. Compare: at a, 
at an; for a, for an; was a, was an. 

And is represented in phrases by the breve Poid. It is 
joined initially and finally to breves. When joined initially 
to another breve the phrase is put in the first position. Exam- 
ples: and as the, and you, you and I. It is joined initially, 
medially and finally to stems. When joined initially to stems 
the phrase is written in the position of the first stem word. 
The breve for and is subject to the rules laid down for a. 
Examples: and although, and which, on and after. 

And is represented in some phrases by the n-hook. Exam- 
ples: by and by, here and there, off and on, over and above, 
up and down. 

And is omitted in the formation of a few phrases. Exam- 
ples : again and again, church and state, over and over. 



RULES OF PHRASING 15 

Another is added to either curved or straight stems by 
the n-hook and doubling. Examples : by another, for another 
purpose, in another manner, or another. 

When the n-hook and doubling cannot be used the word- 
sign is joined. Examples: before another, upon another 
occasion. 

Any is written in the third position to distinguish from 
no. In phrases no is vocalized where necessary to distinguish 
from any. Examples: in any case, in no case. When any 
is made double-length to add other there is danger of conflict 
with another and no other. Where necessary to make a dis- 
tinction in the three phrases any other is disjoined and written 
in the third position, no other is vocalized, and another is joined 
without vocalization. Examples: upon another occasion, 
upon any other occasion, upon no other occasion. When, 
however, another can be represented by n-hook and doubling 
it is not necessary to disjoin any other. See: in another, in 
any other, in no other. 

Are is added by the r-hook to both straight and curved 
stems and to the breve for who. Examples : they are, we are, 
which are, who are. 

When the r-hook cannot be used are is represented by the 
downward R to distinguish from were, Compare: there are, 
there were; how are you, how were you. In the phrases and 
we you and and were you, this distinction is unnecessary, as 
they are placed in different positions. 

As when joined initially to stems loses its position, the 
&rst stem word determining the position of the phrase. Exam- 
ples: as good as, as if, as little as. 

Before a word beginning with a small circle as is repre- 
sented by changing the small circle to a large circle. Examples : 
is soon as possible, as such. 



16 PHRASE BOOK 

As is added to circle word-signs or to a word ending v 
a small circle by changing the small circle to a large cir 
Examples: is as, it is as, such things as that. 

At Last and At Least are distinguished by writing I 
former with the upward L and the latter with the downward L. 

Away is represented finally in phrases by the breve-w 
when it will join conveniently, and by the stem W when the 
stem joins better than the breve. Examples: go away, put 
away, take away, went away, taken away. 

Been is added after have by a curl inside the v-hook. 
Examples: could have been, may have been, should h 
been, to have been, we have been. 

Been is also represented by the curl after there when it i 
represented by the ter-hook. Examples : had there been. 

When have is represented by the stem V, as in the ph 
might not have, must have, etc., been is added by the n-hook. 
Examples: might not have been, must have been, should 
have been there. 

Believe and Belong are distinguished by writing be 
in full in phrases which take it out of position. Examr. 
do you believe, do you belong; we believe, we belong. 

Breves. See heading "Position of Phrases." 

Colloquial Contractions are indicated by writing I 
outline in the form of a, phrase and placing an apostrophe 
either above or below the outline to indicate that it is con- 
tracted. Examples: don't you, had'nt been, they'll take, 
won't undertake. 

Com and Con. The straight breve word-signs, a, and, 
he, I, and of, are written across the beginning of a stei: 



RULES OF PHRASING 17 

indicate that the syllable com or con follows such breve word- 
sign. Examples: a constitution, a contract, and company, 
he commences, I congratulate, of considerable. 

Company in a few phrases is represented by the stem K. 
Examples: insurance company, railroad company, railway 
company, trust company. 

In other phrases corny any is represented by its full outline, 
disjoining to indicate the syllable com. Examples: in com- 
pany, this company. 

Could is not used in phrases after stem words, because 
of the danger of conflict with can. Thus, it can be, may be 
written as a phrase, while it could be should be disjoined so as 
to put could in its own position. 

Did in phrases is liable to conflict with do when used after 
a stem. For that reason did is represented by a half-length 
D, while do is represented by a full-length D. Compare: 
what did you, what do you; where did you reside, where do 
you reside. 

After a breve word-sign which allows did to retain its 
position the full-length is used. Examples: he did, I did, 
we did, you did. 

Dollars, Days. Where the context does not clearly dis- 
tinguish between dollars and days, the word days should be 
vocalized. Generally the context makes it clear without the 
vowel . 

Else is represented in pharases by the downward L to 
distinguish from less, which is represented by the upward L. 
Compare: anything else, anything less: something else, some- 
thing less. 



18 PHRASE BOOK 

The phrase what else is written with the w-hook and s-circle 
on the upward L. 

Estate in a few phrases is represented by the s-circle and 
half-length T. Examples: life estate, personal estate, real 
estate. 

Ever when forming the termination of words, such as 
whichever, wherever, however, etc., is represented by the v-hook. 
But in phrases the stem V is used to distinguish from have. 
Compare: did you ever, did you have; do you ever, do you 
have. 

Extent in a number of phrases is represented finally by 
omitting the stem K. Examples: full extent, great extent, 
to a certain extent. 

Far is represented when possible by two stems, but when 
better joinings can be secured the r-hook is used instead of 
the downward R. Examples: as far as, far away, so far as. 

Figures. Many good phrases are formed by writing 
figures with the shorthand outlines. Examples: one of our, 
ten days, ten thousand dollars, one or two, two or three, three 
or four, four or five, five or six, six or seven, six or eight, seven 
or eight, eight or nine, eight or ten, nine or ten. When larger 
numbers are involved, figures should be used. If two numbers 
are connected by or the second is placed in the first position and 
the word or omitted. Examples: twelve or thirteen, sixteen 
or eighteen or twenty. 

First. Two word-signs are given for this word, the small 
loop on the line, and the stem F with a small final loop. The 
loop is used in the phrase First National Bank. The stem sign 



RULES OF PHRASING 19 

is used in other phrases. Examples: first rate, in the first 
place, party of the first part. 

From — To. From and to are omitted in writing such 
phrases as from day to day, from year to year, etc., the two 
remaining words of the phrase being written close together or 
joined. Examples: from day to day, from generation to gen- 
eration, from hour to hour, from time to time, from week to 
week, from year to year. 

Give when following another word is distinguished from 
come and go by the light dot at the end of the stem G. Exam- 
ples: to give, did you give. 

Go is vocalized when necessary to distinguish from come 
or give. Examples: before you go, did you go, do we go, to go. 

Have when standing alone is written with the breve 
Joid. It is used initially in phrases, the phrase keeping the 
first position. It is written either upward or downward, the 
one being chosen which makes the better joining. Examples: 
have a, have been, have not, have our, have we. The breve 
for have is not joined finally or medially in phrases, except 
after and. Examples : and have, and have a, and have you. 

Have is added finally to straight stems and to the breves 
for / and who by the v-hook. Examples: can have, I have, 
ought to have, which have, who have. 

A special large hook is used on curved stems to add have. 
Examples: may have, shall have, they have, we have, you 
have. 

In phrases where the double-length can be used to advan- 
tage or where the breve or hook will not join conveniently, 
the stem V is used for have. Examples: have their, have 
another, must have, must have been there, should have been 
there. 



20 PHRASE BOOK 

Has is joined initially, medially and finally to breves. 
Examples: and has, has a, he has a, who has. 

Has is joined in any part of a phrase containing stems, 
losing position when joined initially. Examples: has not 
been, has many, it has been said, there has. 

Has is added to circle word-signs or to words ending with 
a circle by enlarging the circle. Examples: as has, this has 
become. 

He when joined to other breves is represented by Toid. 
Examples: and he, he is the, what he is, would he. 

He is joined initially, medially and finally to stems by 
the breve Toid or Koid. Before N it is represented by Toid 
made upward. The breve loses position when joined initially, 
to stems. Examples: could he, he asked, he argued, he can, 
he does not know, he knows, he should be, if he can be, that he. 

In the phrases he was, that he was, etc., he is represented 
by the stem H to avoid conflict with J. Compare: he was not, 
I was not; that he was, that I was. 

The stem is also occasionally used for he when the breve 
does not make a good joining, or when other words can be 
added by the use of the stem. Examples: had he not, was he 
there. 

Him is joined medially and finally to other breves, and 
to stems by the breve Koid or Doid. Examples: by him, 
gave him, to him, of him, owe him, with him, without him. 

His is joined finally to breves. Examples: and his, with 
his, without his. 

His is joined initially, medially, or finally to stems, 
retaining position when joined initially. Examples: after 
his death, his Honor, his own, in his own, upon his. 

A circle word-sign or a circle at the end of a word is enlarged 



RULES OF PHRASING 21 

to add his. Examples: as his, because his, is his, it is his, 
since his death. 

How is joined initially to breves. Examples: how a, 
how I, how is the, how would you, how you. 

When joined initially to stems how retains its position. 
Examples: how far, how little, how many more, how soon 
after that. 

Occasionally when a better joining can be secured, how is 
represented by the stem H. Examples: about how far, how 
long after that, state how much, tell how long. 

I is 'joined initially or finally to other breves by Choid or 
Roid. Examples: and I, as I, have I, how I, I would. 

When joined initially to stems, J loses position. It is 
written upward before P, B, T, D, CH, J, K, G, F, V, TH, 
DH, N, and NG, and downward before S, Z, SH, ZH, R (both 
upward and downward), W, M, and H.. It is not joined to 
either the upward or downward L. Examples: I can, I 
decided, I hope you may, I intend, I made, I saw you, I should 
be sorry, I recollect, I remain, I want to have, I was not, I 
wish. 

J is joined medially and finally to stems. Examples: If 
I, that I am. 

/ have is written downward with the v-hook; I will is 
written upward with the 1-hook. 

In is represented initially by the stem N. Examples: in 
a little while, in all cases, in which a. 

When the stem will not join conveniently the curl is used. 
Examples: in as many, in full, in question, in some respects. 

In receipt, in regard, in response, and similar phrases are 
formed by representing the syllable re- by the r-hook on the 
stem N. Examples: in receipt, in regard, in response. 



22 PHRASE BOOK 

In reference, in relation, in reply, in respect, and in return 
are written with the stem R instead of the hook. 

Ing is represented after word-signs and after half-length 
P, B, T, D, CH, J, M, H, Y, and downward L by a dot at the 
end of the stem and directly in line with the stem. The 
breves for a, an, the, he, him, of, you, your, and we, are used 
in place of the dot when -ing immediately precedes. Examples: 
having a, hoping he, hoping we, owing the, putting the, repre- 
senting him, speaking of, thanking you. 

This method of combining the breve with the -ing- dot is 
extended even to words which add -ing by the stem. Examples : 
getting your, making your, paying the. Some writers prefer, 
however, to use the stem NG and join the breve to save lifting 
the pen. Either form is correct. 

Is is joined initially, medially and finally to breves. 
Examples: and is, and is he, he is, is a, is he. 

Is is joined initially, medially or finally to stems, retain- 
ing its position when joined initially. Examples: is not 
expected, is received, it is not known, which is. 

A circle word-sign or a circle at the end of a word is enlarged 
to add is. Examples: as is, his is, this is not. 

It is added in a few phrases by making the last stem of 
a word half-length. Examples: be it remembered, if it 
has been, make it appear, of it, on it. 

After half-lengths it is added by the stem T. Examples: 
about it, I understand it, send it. In the phrase know it the 
stem is used to avoid conflict with note. 

After the circle word-signs or after a word ending with 
a circle it is added by changing the circle to a loop. Examples: 
as it, because it, is it. 



RULES OF PHRASING 23 

It Is or Its is added to stems by the half-length and 
circle. Examples: but it is, by its, if it is not, on its, where 
it is. 

A circle word-sign or a circle at the end of a word is 
changed to a loop and another circle made after the loop to 
add it is or its. Examples : as it is, as its, because it is. 

Lately and Little are distinguished in phrases by vocal- 
izing lately. Examples: but lately, but little; very lately, 
very little. 

Less. See else. 

Life is represented by the stem F in a few phrases. Exam- 
ples: eternal life, human life, in your life, in your lifetime. 

Mr. (Mister) in some phrases is taken out of its position 
to allow the second word of the phrase to retain position. 
Examples: Mr. President, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker, Mr. 
Smith. 

New when forming part of a geographical name is raised 
or lowered to allow the remaining part of the name to keep 
its position. Examples: New Jersey, New Mexico, New 
Orleans, New York City. 

No. See any. 

No Doubt is vocalized with the diphthong ow when neces- 
sary to distinguish from indeed. In many cases the context 
makes the meaning plain and the diphthong is unnecessary. 
Examples: it is indeed, it is no doubt. 

Ocean is added by the shun-hook in the phrases Atlantic 
Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Antarctic Ocean. 



24 PHRASE BOOK 

Of is represented in any part of a phrase by the breve 
Roid or Choid. The direction in which it is written before the 
various stems is the same as that specified for J. When used 
initially before a stem the breve loses its position. Examples: 
as a matter of fact, end of the, of the, of which, of your, one of our. 

After straight stems without final modifications of is 
represented by the f-hook. Examples: oat of, part of, plenty 
of, top of. 

The f-hook for of is not used after a half-length, as the 
hook would have to be read before the sound of t or d. In 
such cases the breve is used. Examples : instead of, date of. 

There is no f-hook on curved stems for word-building, but 
for phrasing a large hook is used to add of to words consist- 
ing of curved stems. Examples: I do not know of, way of . 

When neither the breve nor the f-hook can be used to 
add of the stem V is used. Examples : most of the time, one of 
the, of all their. 

In the phrases of its and of their the stem V is used for the 
word of. Examples : of its own, of their, most of their, one of 
its, one of their. 

In a few phrases when of can not be conveniently expressed 
by any of the methods above given it is omitted. Examples: 
act of congress, bill of lading, bill of sale, cause of action, in 
point of fact, place of business. 

One is represented by the n-hook in the phrases some one 
and every one. 

The w-hook and n-hook are used on straight stems to add 
one in the phrases at one, but one, each one, which one, and 
other phrases derived from them. 

Ones and Once are added by the w-hook, the n-hook and 
the s-circle in the phrases at once, which ones, but once. 



RULES OF PHRASING 25 

Or is added to either straight or curved stems by the 
r-hook. Examples: at or about that time, in or near, on or 
before, two or three. 

When the r-hook can not be used to add or, either the up- 
ward or the downward R is used, the one being chosen which 
gives the better outline. Examples: Before or after, day or 
two, greater or less, once or twice, said or done. 

See also ' 'Figures" for phrases containing "or" 

Other is added to words ending with a full length straight 
stem by the ter-hook. Examples: at other, each other, such 
other. 

Other is added to words ending in a curved full-length by 
changing to a double-length. Examples : for no other purpose, 
in other words, on other. 

When necessary to distinguish other from their or there 
the light second-position dash is inserted at the proper place 
in the outline to indicate the first vowel of the word other. 
Example: which other. This distinction is only necessary 
where the phrases are liable to conflict and is generally omitted. 

As other is written with the large loop and is distinguished 
from as their by placing the dash through the line of the loop. 

Our is represented by an r-hook on either straight or 
curved stems. Examples: among our, by our, from our, in 
our case, upon our. 

The upward R is used in some phrases for our. Examples : 
all our, at our. 

Owe is represented by the breve Joid, and is joined initial- 
ly to breves. Examples: owe a, owe him, owe the, owe you. 
It is not joined finally to breves, and is not joined to stems 
either initially or finally. 



26 PHRASE BOOK 

Own as a pronoun is added to pronouns represented by 
either straight or curved stems by the n-hook. Examples: 
from your own knowledge, her own, our own, their own way. 

My own is written with the stem N to distinguish from 
mine. The stem is also used when a following word would not 
join conveniently after the hook. Examples: on our own part, 
on his own account. 

In a few phrases own is represented by a curl inside the 
ter-hook. Examples: at their own, by their own, but their 
own, make their own, take their own. 

Part is represented by the word-sign when it will join 
conveniently with the other words of the phrase. Examples: 
on his part, on your part, part of the country. 

When the word-sign does not join conveniently the full 
form of the word is used (Prt). Examples: in some part, on 
my part, on the other part. 

Per standing alone is written with the stem P and the 
r-hook. In phrases either this form or the upward R is used, 
the one being chosen which gives the better joining. Examples: 
per acre, per annum, per cent, per day, per month. 

Remember standing alone is represented by the word- 
sign, but in a few phrases the final stem M is used instead of 
the full word. Examples: did you remember, how do you 
remember. 

Saint when forming part of a proper name is raised 
or lowered to allow the remaining part of the name to keep its 
position. Examples: Saint James, Saint Louis, Saint Paul, 
Saint Peter. 

See is vocalized in phrases to distinguish from say where the 



RULES OF PHRASING 27 

position of the phrases does not distinguish one from the other. 
Compare: did not say, did not see; I can not say, I can not see; 
I mean to say, I mean to see. 

Session in a few phrases is represented by the ishun-curl. 
Examples: court of sessions, court of special sessions, extra 
session, same session. 

Should is not joined after stem words in a phrase, for the 
reason that the outline is the same as shall, and when following 
otner stems in a phrase the distinction of position is lost. 
Should is used after breves which allow it to retain its position. 
Examples : he should, I should, we should, you should. 

Stairs is represented by a large loop and the small circle. 
Examples: back stairs, down stairs, up stairs. 

State in a few phrases is represented by the s-circle and 
the half-length T. Examples: any statement, in this state. 

In a few phrases state is represented by the st-loop and the 
full-length T. Examples : interstate law, New York state. 

, Store is added by a large loop. Examples: book store, 
cigar store, dry goods store, shoe store. 

Than is added to words without final circles, loops, or 
hooks by the n-hook. Examples: earlier than, larger than, 
more than, slower than, smaller than. 

Than is also added by the n-curl, either after a circle or 
loop, or inside a large hook. Examples: better than, faster 
than, greater than, less than, rather than, worse than. 

When neither of these methods can be used, than is rep- 
resented by the full outline. Examples: farther than, later 
than, shorter than. 



28 PHRASE BOOK 

That when it follows another word in a phrase is made 
half-length to distinguish from they or them. Compare: as 
that, as they; by that, by them. 

The, which is the most frequently recurring word in the 
language, is represented in several different ways, so that it 
can be phrased in the great majority of cases. 

The is represented by the breve Choid or Roid. It is 
joined medially and finally to both breves and stems, but is not 
used initially. Examples: and the, knows the, put the, take 
the matter, with the. 

The is added to words consisting of a single stem, and oc- 
casionally to longer outlines, by halving the final stem of a 
word. Examples: for the, on the, take the liberty. This 
method of adding the is not often used with verbs, but is more 
common with prepositions and adverbs. 

A circle word-sign is changed to a small loop to add the. 
Examples: as the, is the, this is the. As a rule the is added 
after a circle at the end of a stem by the breve instead of the 
loop, but when another word can be more conveniently added 
the loop is sometimes used. Examples: because the, does the, 
it is the best, this is the. 

The other is represented by the stem TH made double- 
length and is used in any part of a phrase. Examples: as long 
as the other, on the other hand, the other day. 

Their or there is added by changing a circle word-sign or a 
circle at the end of a stem to a large loop. Examples: always 
there, as soon as there is, as there, because there is, is there 
anything, this is their. 

The ter-hook is used to add their or there to straight stems 
without final hooks. Examples : at their, can there be, on which 
there is. 



RULES OF PHRASING 29 

Curved stems with or without final hooks, and straight 
stems with final hooks, are made double-length to add their 
or there. Examples: began their, for their, gone there, 
known their, on their account, sanction their, scatter their. 

Therefore is written in phrases by indicating the syllable 
there by either the ter-hook, the large loop, or the double- 
length, and the final syllable -fore by either the stem F, or F 
with the r-hook. Examples: can therefore, I wish therefore, 
if therefore, it is therefore, it therefore, we therefore, you 
have therefore. 

They are is represented in phrases by the same methods 
provided for their and there. Examples: as they are, because 
they are, if they are, which they are. 

Time when standing alone is represented by a word-sign 
(M in the first position) , but when it follows another word 
in a phrase the sound of t is represented either by the stem 
T or by making the preceding stem half-length. Examples: 
at the present time, at the same time, on time, some time ago, 
this time. 

In a few phrases when the first stem is made half-length to 
add the, the word-sign for time is joined. Examples: all 
the time, at the time, during the time, from the time, to the 
time. 

To or Too is represented initially before a word contain- 
ing a full length upright or slanting stem by fourth position. 
Examples: to be found, to justify, to investigate, too much, 
too plain. 

See heading Fourth Position for limitations of fourth 
position. 

In a few phrases to is added by making the previous stem 
half-length. Examples: do you mean to be understood, 
honor to be, I decline to say, I have the honor to state, ought 
to be, up to date. 



30 PHRASE BOOK 

The stem T is used to add to in some phrases where the 
half-length is not practicable. Examples: I want to call 
your attention, not to exceed, not to my knowledge, seems 
to have. 

A circle word-sign or a small circle at the end of a word 
is changed to a small loop to add to. Examples: as to, is to 
be, so as to, that is to say. 

To is omitted in a few phrases. Examples: seems to be, 
seems to me. 

Us is added by the s-circle to breve word-signs and to 
prepositions represented by a simple stem. Examples : against 
us, among us, between us, of us, with us. 

After verbs us is represented by the stem S, as the use 
of the circle would give an outline like the third person singular 
of the verb, gives, takes, etc. Examples: give us, send us, 
take us. After the verb let, however, us is added by the 
circle. Examples: let us, let us hear from you, let us know. 

Was is represented by the word-sign in any part of a 
phrase. Examples: I was anxious, that was, was done, was 
there anything said there. 

Was is added to words represented by straight stems by 
the w-hook and s-circle. Examples: but was, it was, where 
was that, which was necessary. 

Way is added by the w-breve when it will join conveniently, 
and by the stem W when the breve can not be used. Examples : 
by the way, in some other way, out of the way, there is no 
other way. 

Note. Some writers use the w-breve for way after the stem N and 
as it does not conflict with other outlines there is no objection to its use. 

We is represented in any part of a phrase by the breve 



RULES OF PHRASING 31 

Thoid or Soid. When joined intially it loses position. The one 
is chosen which makes the better joining with the stem. In 
general when joining a w-breve to a curved stem it is better 
to choose the one which nearest resembles the curve to which 
it is joined. On T and D either may be used. On CH and 
J Thoid makes the better joinging, while on P and B Soid is 
used. These breves should never be joined when they do 
not make a distinct angle. Examples: if we do, may we, 
we fear you will, we replied, we think there is, we want you. 

In phrases consisting of breves only we is not used initially, 
but is joined finally. Examples: and we, how we, what we, 
when we, would we. 

Before the stems M, H, and upward L the stem W is used 
for we because the breve in rapid writing tends to conflict 
with you. Examples: we hasten, we like, we must not be. 

In three phrases we is represented by the stem W to dis- 
tinguish from other phrases, as follows: we can to distinguish 
from what can; we would to distinguish from would we; and 
we wish to distinguish from what we should. 

Before a word beginning with a hook we is represented by 
the stem W where a good joining can be secured. Example: 
we belong, we called upon you, we trust. 

The large w-hook is used on the upward L to form a few 
phrases. Examples: we all, we will, we will let you know. 

The w-hook is used to add we to words represented by 

straight stems without circles, loops or hooks. Examples: 

are we sure, but we may, can we tell, where we thought, which 

we claim. 

Note. If preferred the w-breve may be used in many phrases of this 
character. Thus in the phrase had we either the hook or the breve may be 
used. There is no doubt that the hook is more rapid as it is made with a 
continuous motion while the breve requires a stop. The hook also leaves 
the end of the stem clear for the addition of other words. The writer who 
is ambitious to take advantage of every opportunity to increase speed will 
use the hook for we wherever possible. 



32 PHRASE BOOK 

Well in early Munson shorthand was represented by the 
stem L in the second position, but this word-sign was abandoned 
because it was found to conflict with ill. The old word-sign, 
however, is used in a few phrases. Examples: as well as, 
just as well as, may as well. 

Were used initially in phrases is represented by the up- 
ward R in the third position. Examples: were the other, 
were there not, were you informed. 

Were and are when standing alone, or when beginning 
phrases are distinguished by position. When following 
another word which is represented by a stem or by an immov- 
able breve, however, this distinction is lost, and it becomes 
necessary to adopt different forms for the words. Are follow- 
ing other words in a phrase is represented by the r-hook or 
the downward R, while were is represented by the upward R. 
Compare: if you are, if you were; such as are, such as were; 
they are, they were; you are, you were. 

What is represented by the breve Soid in the first posi- 
tion. It is joined initially to breves. Examples: what a, 
what is your, what would. 

When joined initially to stems it retains position. Exam- 
ples: what are you, what day, what it, what was. 

In four phrases what is joined finally, namely, at what, 
to what, of what, with what. In the last phrase Thoid is used 
instead of Soid, for the sake of the joining. 

In the one phrase what will the large w-hook is used in 
place of the breve. 

When is represented by Thoid in the second position, 
and is joined initially to both breves and stems, retaining 
its position on the line. Examples: when a, when has he, 
when it, when we, when you have. 



RULES OF PHRASING 33 

When is not joined finally or medially to stems, and is 
used finally after breves only in the phrase and when and other 
phrases built upon this one. 

In the phrase when will the large w-hook is used in place 
of the breve. 

Who and Whom are joined initially and finally to breves. 
Examples : of whom, who is, who the, whom you, with whom. 

Who is joined initially, medially and finally to stems. 
When used initially it retains position. Examples : by whom, 
in whom you may, to whom, who may be, who was, who were. 

Will is added to both straight and curved stems, and to 

the breves for I, who, and he by the 1-hook. Examples: I 

will, it will be, it will not be, he will, that will, who will. 

Note. Some writers prefer to write he will with the h-breve and the 
upward L. There is no objection to this outline if it is preferred. 

With is joined initially to other breves, but not finally. 
Examples: with a, with his, with the, with whom. 

With is not joined finally to stems, and when joined 
initially it retains position. Examples: with each other, 
with it, with this understanding. 

When the breve will not join conveniently with the follow- 
ing word, or when a hook or other modification could be used 
to advantage, the stem TH is used in place of the breve Thoid. 
Examples: with all, with another, with reference, with regard 
to the matter, with their. 

Without is joined initially to other breves, and finally 
in the one phrase and without. Examples: without a, without 
him, without his, without your. 

Without is not joined finally to stems, and when joined 
initially to stems retains position. Examples: without date, 
without this, without your aid. 



34 PHRASE BOOK 

Would is joined initially and finally to other breves. 
Examples: he would, I would, who would, would he, would 
we, would you. 

Would is added to the breve you by elongating it. Exam- 
ples: if you would, that you would, you would be. 

Would is joined initially, medially or finally to stems, 
retaining position when joined initially. Examples: it would 
be, they would, would be, would it, would not be responsible, 
would take. 

In a few phrases would is represented by the stem W. 
Examples: would have, would have been there, would have 
said, would like. 

You and Your are joined finally to other breves. Exam- 
ples: have you-r, how you-r, of you-r, owe you-r. You is 
also joined initially to breves. Examples: you a, you and I. 

You or your is added to word-signs represented by the 
w-breve by elongating the breve. Examples: what you-r, 
when you-r, with you-r, without you-r, would you-r. 

You is joined to stems in any part of a phrase, losing 
position when joined initially. Examples: I send you, if 
you can, you can be there, you ought to be, you should be 
certain, you will bear in mind. 

The breve for you or your is occasionally made from left 
to right for the sake of a better joining. Examples: against 
you, between you, don't you, I understand you, I wish you 
would, show you. 

The breve for you is joined after a final circle where the 
joining is convenient. Examples: as early as you can, as 
soon as you can, because you, I advise you, since you saw him. 

The y-hook is used to add you or your to straight stems 
without circles, loops or hooks. Examples: can you state, 
do you know, had you been there. 



RULES OF PHRASING 35 



Note. The y-hook is the most convenient and rapid method of ad- 
ding you or your. In court reporting especially, where the second person is 
extensively used, the large hook should be used wherever possible. See 
phrases commencing with are you, at your, can you, could you, did you, do 
you, had you, were you, where you, which you. etc. 

In some phrases you or your is represented by the 
stem Y where the breve can not conveniently be used. Exam- 
ples: know your own, you have not, your place of business. 

When a distinction is desired between you and your the 
stem may be used for your and the breve for you. 



The outlines of words are often changed in phrases by 
using hooks instead of stems, or stems instead of hooks, or by 
omitting a sound or syllable, or even a word. Examples: at 
all events, at any rate, bear in mind, bearing in mind, by 
express, for instance, for the purpose, House of Representatives, 
in like manner, last night, learned counsel, much more, must 
not, my dear sir, one or more, party of the first part, post 
mortem, Secretary of State, set forth, yours truly. 



A mastery of phrasing is 
the highest excellence in 
shorthand writing. To 
have this mastery should be 
the ambition of every short- 
hand writer.

Munson Shorthand Publications. 

Manual of Munson Shorthand. By A. C. Van Sant and Elizabeth 
Van Sant. This is a superior text on a superior system. Munson 
Shorthand is a Pitmanic system without the inconsistencies of 
principle and practice that mar other Pitmanic systems. In 
Munson a character once learned is always the same and a rule 
once laid down is never reversed. It has come to be known as 
"the system without exceptions." This regularity and consist- 
ency in the system, coupled with the pedagogical superiorities of 
the Van Sant text, makes Manual of Munson Shorthand an ideal 
text for school use. 

Common word-signs and characters frequently used in phrasing are 
introduced at an early stage so that the student is given short 
complete sentences as early as Lesson 7 (on the twelfth page 
studied). The course is planned to give the student practical 
and attractive work in the early lessons and it is one of the 
most "teachable" shorthand manuals published. With this sys- 
tem and this text a pupil should cover the principles of short- 
hand in as short a time as is required for any system, with the 
added advantage of then having a system susceptible of develop- 
ment to any reasonable requirement. When this system is 
taught and this text is used the student is given a basis broad 
enough to cover the language. The Munson writer can meet the 
exigencies of any occasion. 

The manual consists of forty lessons covering the system, followed 
by complete lists of "word-signs and their derivatives," "words dis- 
tinguished," and "phrases." This is followed by forty-six pages 
of business letters and literary selections all in Munson script. 
Completely and helpfully indexed. Price $1.50 

Lessons in Munson Phonography. This text covers the principles 
of the Munson system but differs from Manual of Munson Short- 
hand in its arrangement of material. It contains all the instruc- 
tions and exercises that will be needed until the pupil enters an 
advanced dictation class. Price $1.50 

Munson Exercise Book. This is a printed book with spaces for writ- 
ing neat outlines as called for in connection with each lesson. 
The exercise book lessons accompany the lessons of Manual of 
Munson Shorthand. Price $0.25 

Phonographic Exercise Book. Same as the Munson Exercise Book 
except that the lessons are designed to accompany lessons in 
Munson Phonography. Price $0.30 

First Reader to Accompany Manual of Munson Shorthand. This is 
a 64-page book of shorthand script reading lessons. At the top 
of each page of script are shown the word-signs and phrases that 
are new or need special attention, each being shown in both 
shorthand and type. Paper $0.25 

Phonographic First Reader to Accompany Lessons in Munson 
Phonography. Same as the above except that the reading ma- 
terial is specially designed to accompany Lessons in Munson 
Phonography. Paper $0.30

mention. Cloth $0.75

tions written in Miss Van Sant's beautiful Munson script. In- 
cludes selections from Dickens, Talmage, Draper, Phillips,

selections, and material used in national shorthand speed con- 
tests. A great vocabulary developer, and a valuable reader for 
advanced classes and for practicing stenographers. Paper.. $0.25

those enumerated above in Choice Selections No. I. Fully keyed 
in back of book. Has a wide range of vocabulary and style. 64 
pages. Paper $0.25

lary and style. 64 pages. Paper $0.25 

Good Business Letters. This is a 64-page book, side sewed, contain- 
ing a choice selection of business letters written in Munson 
Shorthand by Miss Van Sant and fully keyed. The letters are 
classified, eight different groups being represented. An extraor- 
dinarily good shorthand reader. 

Shorthand Dictionaries.* We offer a series of pocket Shorthand 
Dictionaries for the prominent systems. They are beautifully 
bound in Morocco, with flexible backs, stamped in gold and 
indexed-in. They are of great value to teachers, advanced stu- 
dents and finished stenographers alike. We have them for the 
following systems: Munson, Benn Pitman and Isaac Pitman. 
Price, each $1 .00 

Dictation Studies.* This is the title of a series of dictation lessons 
arranged to be placed in the hands of the pupil when he has com- 
pleted the text book. This book guides the pupil when he most 
needs direction, and it places the acquiring of speed oh a scien- 
tific basis. Now furnished in the following systems: Munson, 
Graham, Gregg, Benn Pitman, Isaac Pitman and Dement. The 
books contain 240 pages, 5x7%. Price $1.00

the new model machines. It teaches the keyboard by a method

which greatly simplifies the student's work and brings him to 
the point of writing general matter at a very early stage. With 
new and improved methods in shorthand it is desirable to bring 
students up to the transcription point early, and this result is 
secured when Modern Typewriting is used. 
It trains all fingers proportionately from the start, and does not 
place undue emphasis on the strong fingers at the start. 

Modern Typewriting is a mine of information on points of type- 
writer operation and typewriting style and includes hundreds 
of valuable instructions in such matters that all other texts do 
not give. This is not treated merely as informational matter, in 
the form of foot-notes, but is incorporated in the lessons. 

The course does not consist of a few lessons in fingering followed 
by a lot of miscellaneous practice matter, but is arranged in 
progressive lessons from the start, with definite budget require- 
ments for each lesson. The budget scheme definitely outlined in 
this book is one of its strongest features. Price $1.00 

Complete Touch Typewriting Instructor. This manual outlines a 
complete course in typewriting sufficient to prepare the student 
for the transcription of his notes and furnish him the best sort 
of practice up to the time when he is ready to transcribe his 
notes. It is of great value for self-instruction or to those schools 
that do not have a special teacher of typewriting. It contains 
a full list of legal and business forms. Arranged especially for 
the Remington No. 6, Smith Premier No. 2, Oliver, and Under- 
wood No. 4 machines. Price $1 .00 

Stenographer's Business Practice. This is an outline of typical office 
transactions designed to make the amateur familiar with the 
many things an experienced stenographer knows, but a beginner 
does not. The outfit consists of a book of instructions for the 
students, a pad of incoming mail, a pad of blank forms, a pass 
book and a pad of triplicate bills of lading. The course is new and 
unique and no school of shorthand should be without it. 
Price $0.85 

Modern Business English. Language is a habit. Bad use of lan- 
guage is a bad habit; its proper use is a good habit. Bad 
habits in using the language are the result of careless expres- 
sion. These bad habits cannot be overcome by instruction in 
technical rules, but are to be overcome by the substitution of 
correct forms of speech. Modern Business English trains the 
student to use the language correctly. This training is given 
through expressional exercises, the business letter being one of 
the mediums through which the student is taught self-expres- 
sion. The Oral Drill Charts constitute one of the many strong 
features of this book. Just enough technical grammar is given 
to enable the student to understand the reasons for the correct 
habits taught him. Price $0.80 

Modern Business Speller. This work is arranged for business and 
high schools. It gives the teacher a check on the pupil, and he 
knows when the pupil has made suitable preparation. All words 
are diacritically marked, yet visualization is used to the fullest 

195 



extent. Teaches pronunciation and a discriminating sense in the 
use of words. A certain amount of dictionary work is required 
each day. A very attractive book, and the most popular speller 

for secondary schools. Price $0.25 

Spelling Blank. A most practical blank, 6x9 inches, and containing 
forty pages. It is ruled and numbered for twenty-five words 
on each page, with space allowed for rewriting misspelled words, 
also for marks and report on each lesson. 
Price, per hundred $5.00
